Ukrainian Spring: Against all hope I hope
As part of the Ukrainian Spring Festival, you are warmly invited to an evening where Finnish and Ukrainian music and poetry meet under the words of the 19th‑century poet Lesya Ukrainka: Spera spem spero (“Without hope, I hope”).The musicians Aleksander Sätterström, Chikako Sasaki, Ingegerd Kierkegaard, and Magnus Lanning from the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra performs two string quartets: Jean Sibelius’s taut and introspective Voces Intimae (“The Inner Voices”) and Borys Lyatoshynsky’s emotionally charged fourth quartet.

22 augusti180 krWho will save Alfie Atkins?Alfie sits alone in the apartment where he lives and feels lonely. He has moved to a new place and doesn’t know any of the other children there. Sometimes his imaginary friend Malcolm appears, and when they play together, Alfons always gets to decide — like being the train driver when they play trains. The problem is that Mållgan never shows up when he is really needed, like when the “big boys” chase Alfons and spray his jacket with water pistols. A performance about friendship, based on Alfie Atkins, the beloved children’s book character created by Gunilla Bergström.Read more & tickets
